Trump

I think we have to hope that what we're seeing is a sort of death throe from this brand of fascism... at least for a bit.

🤞😬🤞
 
I sat in Russells Hall until the early hours this morning with my dad who at 75, has suffered a minor heart attack brought on by the anxiety of other health tests yesterday and caring for my mom who is very unwell. I got home and asked my partner how come absolute cunts like Putin and Trump are well enough to continue ruining the world in their 70s whilst my parents aren't even able to enjoy a happy retirement after a lifetime of honest graft. Fucking shit
 
Trump's whole tariff plan seems to based on the idea he has that "they need us more than we need them". Looks like it might get put to a test.
 
We were already losing our ability to compete with China and Trump has pushed things completely over the edge.

Fair play to the rest of the world.

It's just end stage neo-liberalism. It'll be messy for a while, then better. Just so long as we don't nuke ourselves during the transition.
 
Karl Marx did suggest that the "internal contradictions" of the US would eventually lead to the demise of capitalism and the rise of socialism although noted that the diverse population would hinder that process.

Trump's white nationalism/supremacy might end up working against him...
 
Alright, I’m saying this as an Australian who is absolutely sick to death of watching the world hold its breath every time this blabbering blubbering blithering blustering baffoon opens his grotesque mouth.

You see folks, as far as I can tell, from the outside, this is what it looks like: America has elected a man who talks and behaves like a megalomaniac, and the rest of the planet is supposed to just trust that he won’t completely lose his grip on reality and drag us all into catastrophe.

You want to steal Greenland.
You want Cuba to “make a deal before it’s too late”.
You talk about bombing or invading Mexico.
You kidnap a President and knock off the peoples oil in Venezuela.
You joke about annexing Canada like it should be a shopping centre car park you can just claim because you feel like it.

Do you have any idea how insane that sounds to the rest of us?

This isn’t tough talk. This isn’t strategy. This is a deeply unstable old man threatening sovereign nations like he’s flipping over a Monopoly board because he’s losing. This is not normal behaviour. This is not leadership. This is not strength. This is a walking, talking international crisis.

And Americans, this is where it comes back to you. Not just MAGA, not just the people who voted for him, all of you. Because when the President of the United States starts talking about kidnapping leaders, annexing countries, and issuing ultimatums like a mob boss, the rest of the world doesn’t get a vote. We just get the consequences.

You don’t get to shrug and say, “Well I didn’t vote for him.” That might fly at a dinner party, but it doesn’t fly when nuclear powers are watching this circus and recalculating their own red lines. This is your system. Your presidency. Your responsibility.

From the outside, it looks like America lit the fuse and then wandered off while everyone else stands around the bomb wondering who’s going to cut the wire.

And let’s be brutally honest. This man is nearly 80. He’s frail. He’s clearly deteriorating. He is not some long term visionary playing chess. He’s at the end of his lifespan and acting like nothing matters after him. That is the most dangerous type of leader there is. A man with nothing to lose and an ego that demands constant feeding.

Why should the rest of the world pay for that?

Why should families in Europe, Asia, Australia, South America, anywhere, have to worry about war, trade collapse, energy shocks, or global instability because America couldn’t get its own house in order?

This is not about left or right anymore. This is about basic sanity. This is about stopping a psychopath before he does something irreversible. Because once a war starts, once a country gets invaded, once alliances fracture beyond repair, you don’t get a reset button.

So yes, this falls on Americans. You got the world into this mess, and you damn well better roll your sleeves up and get us out of it. Impeach him. Remove him. Contain him. Do whatever your system allows, but do it fast.

Because the rest of us just want to live our lives, raise our families, pay our bills, and not wake up one morning to find out World War Three started because an unhinged old man wanted to feel powerful one last time.

This isn’t funny anymore.
It isn’t theatrical.
It isn’t tolerable.

Get this lunatic under wraps before he ruins it for everyone.

I appreciate what Mr. Australia above is getting at, but those of us who didn't vote for Trump are a bit busy trying to deal with his Gestapo literally shooting people dead in the streets. And we don't really have legitimate means to do anything until the midterms this year, assuming they even happen. If they don't... I think that's going to be the nail in the coffin.

Trump, his entire Cabinet, and every single congressperson who voted to approve any of his Cabinet appointments should be tried for treason. But they won't be.

He's such a massive baby. Which would be funny if he didn't frequently have the fate of the world in his hands.
 
Well we can vote for more D members of Congress, but districts tend to be designed so that only one party has a realistic shot at winning.

We can impeach him, a political process not a legal one. A simply majority in the House then a two-thirds majority in the Senate. Rs currently control both houses and even if that does change next year, the odds of 15-20 R senators committing political suicide are virtually zero.

The Supreme Court could rule his actions illegal but has a 6-3 R majority and if any member dies it is the president who nominates a replacement.

The media can influence public opinion, but how does that work in the UK? Either billionaire owned or 'fake news'.

So what are we supposed to do - riot?
